Counseling on Poor Attendance
Student Services and Support and the Academics work closely to counsel students with poor attendance rate. Every month Warning Letters are generated and sent to students who do not meet the minimum attendance requirements. The Student Services and Support and the Academics will meet them one-to-one for counselling and to identify the symptoms of stress or abnormalities in the students.
The Academics will be roped in to help if students’ poor attendance was due to difficulties of coping in their studies. The academics will monitor them. Should the problem persist or the student is still not doing well, the case will be referred to the School Counsellor.
Mentoring Session
TMC Academy provides free and confidential psychological counselling services. Qualified and experienced psychologist is available to guide students to solutions for pressing concerns and personal difficulties.
In some cases, the school psychologist may refer students to professional counselling services provided by government bodies, professional associations or registered non-government organisations.
